We create sustainable value for you through
innovation, quality, and partnership.

Built by Siemens in 1896,
this motor was in successful
operation at Tsingtao Brewery,
China, from 1903 to 1995 –
for more than 90 years.
An innovative game-changer
then, and a proof of the highest
quality to this day.

Perfectly tailored to the requirements
of the digital enterprise
Digitalization of drive technology has long ceased to be just a dream, and has become a powerful
driver in its own right. We work with you to take this development forward. This creates an entirely
new dimension in added value, characterized by faster times to market, even greater plant availability,
and far higher levels of efficiency. For SIMOTICS motors, the interaction between highly standardized
seamless platforms and digital twins and connectors for linking to cloud-based status data analysis,
provide the perfect basis for comprehensive digitalization of the drive environment and therefore the
complete plant or system.

Intelligent drive systems fit seamlessly into every automa-
tion environment throughout their entire lifecycle, making
the engineering process faster and saving power costs.
At the same time, digitally supported drive technology
opens up a new dimension in transparency: the huge
volumes of data from motors and converters can be record-
ed, analyzed and turned into valuable data. Analysis of this
data leads to new processes that can optimize other pro-
cesses, evaluate machine status, and arrange an ideal
maintenance schedule.
Perfect basis: highly standardized platforms
The seamless and highly standardized platforms of the
SIMOTICS family of motors form the perfect basis for the
digitalization of the drive environment. SIMOTICS platforms
are based on modular systems that extend across power
ratings and applications. They employ the same design
principles – and use standardized components and inter­faces.
This standardization of design, components and interfaces
immensely simplifies the digitalization of the widest range
of procedures in the overall drive landscape. When it comes
to planning, selection, engineering and integration – also
in the digital image of the overall plant or system – the
standard “look and feel” of SIMOTICS motors and standard-
ization of the interfaces pays off tremendously. Standardiza-
tion of components also supports the digitalization of stock
inventory and spare part management processes – and the
implementation of data-supported service concepts.
SIDRIVE IQ Fleet –
for digital enhanced drive systems
The MindSphere App SIDRIVE IQ Fleet can be used to digi-
tally monitor, analyze, and optimize drive systems, to
maximize their availability, efficiency, performance, and
serviceability. In turn, this increases productivity, forming
the basis for a successful business both now and in the
future. To make the drive components communication-­
capable, therefore, they are equipped with connectivity
modules, for example with SIMOTICS CONNECT 400 for
low-voltage motors and SIMOTICS CONNECT 600 for
high-voltage motors up to approximately 20 MW.
SIDRIVE IQ Services give users digital expert support for
optimizing plant availability and productivity. They’re based
on an innovative combination of remote services and
condition monitoring services that minimize scheduled and
unscheduled downtimes.

Knauf Integral KG
Location: Satteldorf, Germany
Industry: Gypsum drying machine
Challenge: Knauf Integral KG wanted to
increase the energy efficiency of its
12-speed gypsum drying plant. In the past,
mains motors that operated around the clock were primarily used in
the plant, sometimes at full load and other times at partial load.
Solution: A highly efficient variable-speed drive system consisting of
a SIMOTICS synchronous-reluctance motor and a SINAMICS G120
converter. The solution proved to be more efficient than another
drive system that was also tested. The new SIMOTICS synchronous-
reluctance motor was also structurally compatible with the motors
previously used, which meant that the company didn’t need to invest
in a retrofit kit.
Innovation: A perfectly coordinated motor/converter system, with
the size of the entire drive system reduced by more than one capaci-
ty stage and a motor code that made it possible to simplify commis-
sioning. The Satteldorf plant was defined as a pilot project to test the
first 25 highly efficient SIMOTICS synchronous-reluctance motors in
conjunction with the SINAMICS G120 converter and to then equip
other Knauf factories with the Siemens solution.
Kaeser Kompressoren SE
Location: Coburg, Germany
Industry: Compressed air systems
Challenge: Lower operating costs, a
smaller footprint, and precise, reliable
control of the compressed air demand and
its typical process-related fluctuation were the requirements that
Kaeser Kompressoren SE imposed on its innovative HBS.1 screw
blower.
Solution: Coordinated drive system comprised of next-generation
SIMOTICS SD motors and SINAMICS G120 variable-speed drives.
Innovation: Working together, SIMOTICS SD and SINAMICS G120
comply with the high IES2 system efficiency class across the full
control range and thereby lower the energy demand of the entire
screw blower. Service costs are also lower, thanks to the extremely
robust, low-maintenance, and service-friendly motors. The higher
power density, smaller enclosure dimensions, and the more flexible
connection concept of the SIMOTICS SD next-generation motor
contribute enormously to the smaller footprint of the new screw
blower.
Neue Halberg-Guss GmbH
Location: Saarbrücken, Germany
Industry: Automotive supplier,

Challenge: Modernizing two large radial
blower systems to achieve higher energy
efficiency and reliable operation of the thermal processes, re-certifi-
cation according to ISO 50001
Solution: Two SIMOTICS FD (Flexible Duty, 325-kW) motors
with SINAMICS G120P converters
Innovation: Reducing power costs by up to 10 %, as SIMOTICS FD
is designed for converter operation, and optimized for SINAMICS
converters to increase system efficiency for full and partial load.
Lower engineering costs, as motor and converter are perfectly
harmonized and coordinated with one another.

High dynamic performance, extremely
compact design – ­SIMOTICS S
Whether for positioning in pick-and-place applica-
tions, for cyclic drives in packaging machines or for
path control in handling equipment and machine
tools: our permanent magnet SIMOTICS servo motors
with the highest energy efficiency are the first choice
wherever high dynamic performance and precise
motion sequences are required. Depending on the
application, they are available with different integrated
encoders – from basic resolvers up to high-resolution
absolute encoders. The series of SIMOTICS S motors is
rounded off by SIMOTICS servo geared motors.
Your benefits:
• Servo motors for highly dynamic and precise
positioning along with precision motion control
• Perfectly adapted to every drive task, thanks
to a selection of moment-of-inertia versions
• Service- and installation-friendly quick-release
connector that can be rotated, and replaceable
encoder
Precise rotation up to 40,000 rpm –
SIMOTICS M
SIMOTICS M are the main motors for applications
where the primary focus is on a continuous and
precise rotary motion of axes. They are perfect as the
main drives for presses, as roll drives in printing and
paper machines, and in textile and plastics machines.
They are also used as winder drives – and are em-
ployed in machine tool spindles and cranes. With a
power range extending from 2.8 up to 1,340 kW, they
cover almost every application.
Your benefits:
• Main motors for precise and smooth operation
of rotary axes and main drives
• Thanks to the modular system, the optimal motor
can be configured with numerous options for every
application
• Highest levels of efficiency can be achieved thanks
to selection of synchronous or asynchronous version
Higher dynamics across the board –
­SIMOTICS  L
SIMOTICS linear motors are the ideal solution if linear
motion is to be executed with maximum dynamic
performance and precision. The reason: elasticities,
backlash, and friction effects as well as natural vibra-
tion in the drive train are avoided to a large extent.
That's because when using linear motors, mechanical
transmission elements – such as ballscrews, couplings,
and belts – are eliminated. This simplifies the machine
design and reduces wear.
Your benefits:
• Linear motors for the highest dynamic performance
and precision in linear motion
• Enormous force density in a compact design
• The motors require no maintenance, which means
add to high technical availability
Highest precision for rotary axes –
­SIMOTICS  T
SIMOTICS torque motors are optimized for high
torques at low rated speeds. With a high-precision
and dynamic performance as well as low wear (there
are no mechanical transmission elements), they are
desirable as built-in motors for rotary cycle machines,
rotary indexing tables, and swiveling and rotary axes:
for example, for machine tools. The same is true for
the complete torque motors, which are used as rolling
mill motor and winder drives in converting applications.
Your benefits:
• Torque motors for gearless direct drive with
a high dynamic performance for all rotary axes
• Direct controllability; no elasticities in the drive train
• Low quantity of individual components reduces the
number of interfaces, maintenance costs, and stock
of spare parts
Individual solutions
for special applications
Sometimes there's no way around application-specific
solutions. We can offer you this: Based on our many
years of experience, we work with our customers to
design and implement application-specific motor
solutions that are perfectly tailored to your require-
ments in terms of both design and performance.
Not only this, you'll also profit from the high level of
integration in our converter and control environment.
